Yes, I'd think it was a 98 problem except that I never saw it in
21.0.104 or 21.0.105 and the first day I started using 21.1 my machine
locked up 4 times, always in the circumstances I've outlined

It sems to run out of the box with 21

Hmm, vm is a bit of a large piece of code to narrow it down, I've just
tried running gnus in another frame in case it was the fact of missing
'Edit' in the menubar  in frame 2 that was the problem but without success

Wanted to see if anyone else could replicate this as there are other
vm users out there!
